Student Self-Assessment Flashcards

Which of the following student statements reflects strong self-assessment skills in a STAMP classroom?

Strong self-assessment is specific, references the standard, and identifies both strengths and areas for growth.

How does student self-assessment support STAMP's focus on growth?

Answer: By helping students identify exactly what they need to do next to improve

When students can accurately pinpoint gaps in their understanding, they can take targeted action to grow toward mastery.

What is 'calibration' in the context of student self-assessment?

Answer: The process of aligning student self-judgments with the actual proficiency criteria

Calibration ensures students accurately understand the proficiency descriptors and can apply them consistently when evaluating their own work.

Analyzing one's own performance against a standard and making evaluative judgments requires critical thinking at the analysis and evaluation levels.

Exit tickets that ask students to rate their understanding provide frequent, low-stakes opportunities for self-reflection tied directly to the day's learning target.

In STAMP, what is the relationship between self-assessment and student motivation?

Answer: Accurate self-assessment increases motivation by giving students actionable next steps

When students can clearly see where they stand and what to do next, they are more likely to feel agency and motivation to improve.
